How Investing In Your Health Can Fill Your Pockets - Web3 And A Couple Creative Apps Have Your Answer

A Web3 Running app that rewards you with crypto for your activity.  It may sound like a novelty, but it’s actually pretty genius.  Quickly gaining in popularity, apps like STEPN, and crypto like Sweatcoin have found a way to monetize your health.

There are definitely differences between the two, as they are at different stages of development; however, both operate on the same basic premise.  Earn currency native to the app by walking and/or exercising.  You then have the opportunity to sell or trade your currency.  If you’d like to trade your STEPN or SWEAT for ETH, you absolutely can!  Or, if you believe in the brand and this type of real-world/NFT integration, you can hold on to the coins in the hope they’ll rise in value as it gains popularity.
